Asserting that gold doesn’t compete with the dollar as money, Powell pretended ignorance of the U.S. government’s extensive and decades-long efforts — through laws, policies, and market interventions — to minimize gold’s role in the international financial system, precisely to defeat the monetary metal’s competition with the dollar. Documenting the U.S. government’s open and surreptitious efforts to defend the dollar against competition from gold has been the bulk of the work of the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee (GATA) for more than 25 years (See here and here). https://activistpost.com/2024/12/fed-chairmans-brazen-lies-about-gold-go-unchallenged.html

It is up to individual citizens to protect themselves from the risks of a debt crisis that could cause the currency to depreciate even more rapidly than it has been in recent years. That means holding sound money in the form of physical precious metals will be no less important in the Trump years that it was in the Biden years. https://activistpost.com/2024/12/there-will-be-no-federal-solution-to-the-crisis-thats-coming.html

Last week, Russia announced a temporary ban on the export of precious metals scrap. The Russian government hopes keeping scrap within its borders will enhance domestic refining operations. This strategic move is intended to boost the country’s gold and silver supplies and direct those resources to domestic production. In effect, the Russian government hopes the ban will support domestic industries, enhance government revenues, and tighten control over the trade of valuable resources. https://activistpost.com/2024/12/russia-temporarily-bans-export-of-gold-and-silver-scrap.html

(Kitco News) – Gold buyers are looking exhausted, signaling that a near-term price top for the yellow metal is likely in, and silver is now looking better-positioned for further gains, according to TD Securities’ Senior Commodity Strategist Daniel Ghali. https://www.kitco.com/news/article/2024-11-25/gold-prices-face-local-peak-silver-better-set-now-td-securities-ghali

Anti-NATO and pro-Palestinian riots broke out in Montreal this week, and on Friday night, things got violent. Police report that the protesters were smashing windows out of buildings, setting cars on fire, setting off smoke bombs, and throwing metal barriers at cops who tried to intervene. They marched through the streets with Palestinian flags and burned an effigy of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The rioters chose Montreal because the city is currently hosting delegates for the annual NATO parliamentary assembly. You might be thinking that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was on top of things immediately, working with local officials to calm the situation. Just kidding -- I know our readers are smarter than that. Trudeau was actually about as far away mentally as one can get; he was dancing the night away at a Taylor Swift concert in Toronto. https://pjmedia.com/sarah-anderson/2024/11/24/trudeau-dances-while-montreal-burns-n4934590

The newly released 2025 Sound Money Index has identified Wyoming, South Dakota, and Alaska as the states with the most favorable policies toward constitutional sound money, while Vermont, Maine, and California take the most hostile stances.

On Thursday, the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation made their own official announcement. “The creation of a mechanism for trading metals within the BRICS countries will lead to the formation of fair and equitable competition based on exchange principles,” the Ministry said in a release, according to Russian news service Oreanda. The Finance Ministry added that they expect the BRICS Precious Metals Exchange “will become a key regulator of prices for precious metals.” https://www.kitco.com/news/article/2024-10-24/russia-will-create-new-brics-precious-metals-exchange-become-key-regulator
